UNION OVERALLS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September 18, 1919. Serial No. 324,531.

, To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ISAAC BERNSTEIN, a citizen. of the United States,residing at Alameda, in the county of Alameda and State of California,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Union Overalls, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My inventionis a union overalls which may be slipped on and OE andopened in the backquickly.

Referring to the annexed drawing:

Figure 1 is a front perspective view my overalls shown on a man.

Figure 2 is a rear perspective view my overalls shown on a man.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary rear view my overalls with the flap open.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary front view my overalls.

In the drawing 1 indicates the body, 2 the trousers and 3 the sleeves ofmy overalls. The back of the body has an entrance 4 extending from thecrotch 5 through the collar 6 at the left side of the back thereof and afiap 7 which extends from the left side tothe right side of the back ofthe body and closes said entrance. The ends of the collar 6 at theentrance 4 are buttoned togather-by a button 8 on the end of the collarwhich is on the body 1 and a button hole 9 in the other end of thecollar which is on the flap 7. A suspender strap 10 extends from theupper right corner of the flap 7 over the right shoulder of the wearerand is buttoned over the upper edge of a pocket 11, on the front of thebody 1 at the right side thereof, by means of a button 12, sewed to thefront of the body and a button hole 13 in the extremity of the strap.The upper edge of the front wall of pocket 11 isbuttoned over button 12under strap 10 through button hole 12 in said wall at its upper edge,closing the entrance to said pocket. A strap 14 of the same style asstrap 10 is sewed at one end to the left shoulder and is buttoned overthe upper edge of a pocket 15 on the front of the body 1 at the rightside thereof by means of a button 16, sewed to the front of the body anda button hole 17 in the extremity of the strap, the upper edge of thefront wall of the pocket being buttoned on said button" through a buttonhole 16' in said front wall at its upper edge, closing'the entrance tosaid pocket.

The two straps 10 and 14 have the ap pearance of suspenders. The rightedge of the flap 7- may be buttoned near the under side of the rightsleeve by means of a button 17 sewed at such point'to the back of thebody 1 and a button hole 18 in the flap near its right edge. An elasticbelt 20 is sewed inthe waist of the body 1 and flap 7, the ends of whichmeet at the right edge of the flap when the flap is closed and may behooked together by a hook 21 on one end and an eye 22 on the other endthereof, whereby the garment is gathered around the Waist to fit personsof various sizes. Pockets 23 and 24 are formed on the inside of straps10 and 14, the bottom of said pockets being near the extremity of thestrap. The entrances of said pockets are closed by flaps the trousersends around the ankles of the In the ends of'the sleeves 3 are wearer.elastic bands 35 for gathering the'sleeve ends around the Wrists of thewearer.

The strap 10 buttoned on button 12 is sufficient to hold the flap 7 inclosed position and the overalls 'on the wearer for quick use.

I manufacture my overalls in three sizes which by means of the elastics34 at the lower ends of the trousers, and the elastics 35 at the. endsof the sleeves will fit persons ofiall sizes.

Having described my invention, I claim:
